I've made these muffins several times already and really, really love this recipe. I'm getting ready to go make it with some sweet potatoes I cooked and that's going to be delicious! I have a 3 year old and an 18 mo. old so this is such a great way of getting some vitamins and not a huge amount of sugar into their little squirmy, picky bodies. :)

Wow, I didn't realise that you could freeze pumpkin puree as per advice to VenusDoom. Thanks for sharing this tip Janet.

I am looking forward to making these muffins with my home grown 'golden apple' squash.

Ahh thanks. Baking makes more sense. I bake pumpkins before I use them in varios other dishes. I'll try that then. Thanks :)

Venus Doom, I usually cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, place cut side down on an oiled baking sheet and bake at 375 for about 30 min. till it's tender when you poke it with a fork and then puree it in the food processor. I usually cook 2 or 3 at a time and freeze the puree in 1 or 2 cup portions to use in soup, muffins,pancakes, etc. later. It freezes well for 6-9 months. Baking seems to best preserve the flavor of the squash.

You can also boil it- cut in half, scoop out seeds, peel and cut into chunks. Bring to a boil and cook till tender, then puree. I don't like to peel squash before cooking-they have a tough skin and clumsy leftie that I am, I'd probably cut off a finger doing it. Plus I think alot of vitamins are lost in the cooking water.

You can also cook it in the microwave, but I've never done it so can't give directions for it.

I want somee !!! :) that looks yummyyyy

I don't really bake coz I'll be the only one eating whatever Vegan stuff I "experimented" in the kitchen and most of the time, they turn out pretty unsuccesfully haha :)

Lol, how bizarre. It was here for a while. Oh well.
I asked how you puree the squash. Do you have to boil it first or something? Might seem an obvious question but Ive never used squash in a sweet dish before and would like to try it.
Thanks

You always make me hungry. I love these - with the fall air and the pumpkins spices everywhere - this would be grand to have baking in my kitchen.
